Ron Milam is a skilled and experienced network development practitioner. He’s helped multiple sustainability and equity oriented collaboratives identify common agendas, build their membership, design governance structures, facilitate engaging processes and evaluate effectiveness. Given the complexity of network spaces, he’s also worked extensively to build relationships and trust while navigating and negotiating power dynamics. He has consulted for numerous community based nonprofit networks along with regional and statewide philanthropic networks (check out this blog post for more details). He’s served networks in a variety of capacities, including:
- Directing all aspects of a statewide network

- Facilitating retreats and convenings
- Cultivating learning and site visits
- Stewarding relationships
- Engaging participants in network mapping and landscape analysis
